Dancing Dubstep Dog

Rusko's entire new album is available for streaming on his myspace www.myspace.com/ruskonfire head over there and check it out. It will be available for purchase on Tuesday. I was listening to the new album on full blast because the neighbors aren't home. My dog, Cambria, decides she wants to start dancing. So I whipped out my phone and tried to get the dance online for you all to enjoy.

Salad Days | Mad Decent | Commonwealth

Back in 1998 my friends that I met in high school that would become my closest and most influential peers got me into punk and hardcore music. We all skateboarded and had similar interests and outlooks on life. I was very sheltered from "secular" music growing up in a strict Christian home. This music, new to me, was the rebellious music of the devil that I had not been able to listen to. This counter culture was underground even in '98 and I was very eager to be a part of it. I was going to local shows and making mixtapes for my friends. We literally used cassette tapes on a boom box to make these. Any one remember what those were? Sometimes my mom would find them and throw them in the trash.

The 70's, 80's, and 90's punk and hardcore music influenced my taste in music heavily. The culture of the punk rock shows also influenced me. There would be fights and drinking and smoking, all the things my mother wanted me to be sheltered from. One of the best things that I went to shows for was the girls. They would be in love with these band members no matter how big or small the band was. I would go in and mosh and skank and dance in the pit with a bunch of sweaty over exerted dudes. The memories are just flowing back to me.

I met Stereofaith this past summer at a gig in Delaware. He was able to take a crowd that was more interested in gossip than the music and get them dancing. I don't believe its an easy task and have seen numerous "DJ's" who just will play the one genre of music that they like. No one else could be feeling what they are playing, but they insist on sticking to their guns. I more recently have met Nadastrom. These two have the ability to make anyone dance with their music and can DJ a party until there is sweat on the walls.

I have been anticipating this mixtape since I first heard about it months ago. Finally, here it is.

From:
Blog » Mad Decent Worldwide Radio #59 - Salad Days | Mad Decent


"Salad Days" is a hardcore punk mix that Nadastrom and DJ
Stereofaith pieced together. Having been raised by the DC punk and
hardcore scenes in the late 80s and 90s, they give a nod to their
musical roots and continue to refer to the DIY ethos as working DJs and
producers. The "Salad Days" mixtape is a celebration of the energy and
passion of punk and hardcore music.

This Is Why I Follow Diplo

I follow about 160 people on twitter. Some of those people I've met and some people are ones I'd like to meet. Out of all the people I follow, @diplo is the best. He has his twitter game on lock. The stuff he tweets is just ridiculous but he gives us enough truth to continue to read his tweets everyday. The whole Mad Decent team are fun to follow any way. Yet, Diplo just has a contagiously fun personality. Follow him and you will see what I mean.

TaxLo! Cullen Stalin's Bday with KID SISTER, NADASTROM, DJ SEGA and guests!

Ok all my party people. This is going to be huge! Here is all the info from their facebook page. I already have my tickets.

TaxLo! Cullen Stalin's Bday with KID SISTER, NADASTROM, DJ SEGA and guests!

Saturday, April 10, 2010 at 8:00pm

Location: Sonar
Street: 407 E Saratoga St
City/Town: Baltimore, MD


Every spring for the past five years or so, there is a big party. Last year the MSTRKRFT/BIRD PETERSON bill grew to include BLAQSTARR, AMANDA BLANK, SPANK ROCK, and DEVLIN & DARKO. In previous years we've seen DIPLO, SCOTTIE B, NINJASONIK, and many more club-rattling acts take the stage around this time.

We're doing it again in 2010! Don't miss the first area appearance of...

KID SISTER (Live! Only area appearance! Chicago, Fool's Gold)
http://kidsistermusic.com/

KID SISTER has been featured in the New York Times, Urb, Complex, and just about everywhere else. She's been nominated for a BET award alongside Eve and Missy Elliott. She has performed on TRL and recorded a video with Kanye West. All years before her album dropped.

A certified party-starter, Kid Sister is as comfortable collaborating with Chromeo as with Cee-Lo; rapping alongside David Banner or over beats by Steve Angello or Sinden. Her debut full-length, ULTRAVIOLET (Fool's Gold/Downtown) demonstrates her versatility and unstoppability.

This will be Kid Sister's debut performance in the entire Bmore/DC area, and her only area appearance on this tour! You can't even catch her in Philly...

Oh and speaking of Philly...

DJ SEGA (Mad Decent/Brick Bandits)
http://myspace.com/djsegatheblackknight

DJ SEGA is Baltimore filtered through Philly. He's been a true pioneer, introducing Baltimore sounds to the Philadelphia club scene for years - since he was a teenager, dropping monthly mixtapes. He has taken Baltimore club and flipped it until it's almost a new genre, and is hailed as the master of "Philly Club." This brought him to the attention of internationally-known producer Diplo, who quickly signed Sega to his label, MAD DECENT.

DJ SEGA has played TaxLo several times before, most notably at the epic Death Set/Bonde do Role/Future Islands party in May 2008. Get psyched to hear his latest bangers!

But wait, there's more!

NADASTROM (Dave Nada and Matt Nordstrom, Dubsided, DC)
http://myspace.com/nadastrom

The duo of Matt Nordstrom and Dave Nada should need no introduction to TaxLo regulars. DAVE NADA has been a longstanding resident at TaxLo since the party's days at the (old) Talking Head Club. Since those days, his DJ and production trajectory brought him to collaborate with DC house innovator MATT NORDSTROM, and the result was the international smash collaboration, NADASTROM.

Quickly recognized as the future by Switch and Tittsworth, NADASTROM has released a string of bestselling releases and remixes for DUBSIDED, T&A, FOOL'S GOLD, MAD DECENT and more. House music to stagedive to.

Of course, there will be plenty of surprises too, and this will all be hosted by

TAXLO DJs SIMON PHOENIX and CULLEN STALIN
